"Scandic delivered a quarter of good growth, results and cash flow, supported by a generally positive market development and high operational efficiency. The autumn is off to a solid start, and we are in a good position with a booking situation that is on a par with last year."
Scandic delivered a quarter of good growth, results and cash flow. Positive demand was noted in most of our markets, with increasing travel volumes and tourism, as well as a busy event calendar, underpinning a stable increase in revenue per available room (RevPAR).
Scandic Norway delivered a strong performance and is efficiently meeting demand. Sales rose by nearly 6.5 percent (around 10 percent organically), while our margins were further strengthened compared with the preceding year. The Norwegian hotel market performed well, driven by good demand from both leisure and business travelers and favorable capacity development. In Sweden, the quarter got off to a somewhat hesitant start, but a gradual improvement could be seen during the summer. The market in Gothenburg has returned to a normal state following last year's capacity increase, while development in Stockholm was stable albeit with a degree of price restraint. Scandic Sweden increased its sales by 8 percent, reporting good profitability on a par with the preceding year. The Danish market performed well and, in Copenhagen in particular, demand was favorably impacted by growth in international tourism. During the year, Kastrup consolidated its role as the Nordic region's leading airport hub, adding more routes and reporting record passenger numbers, which contributed to growing numbers of international guests. In Finland, performance was affected by the softer macro environment, while last year's comparison period was boosted by a very strong event calendar in Helsinki. The effects of a weaker economy are also being felt in Germany. Nevertheless, we are continuing to optimize our operations so that we are well positioned when the markets rebound.
Net sales increased just over 3 percent to SEK 6.4 billion (6.2), which excluding negative currency effects of approximately SEK 138 million corresponds to organic growth of more than 5 percent. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to SEK 1,088 million (1,077), corresponding to a margin of 17.1 percent (17.4). The slightly lower margin compared to last year was mainly due to currency effects and a higher pace of commercial development. Items affecting comparability amounted to SEK -20 million (-18) and pertained to transaction-related costs in connection with the Dalata acquisition. These costs are of a non-recurring nature and are thus excluded from adjusted EBITDA. Free cash flow was strong, increasing to SEK 621 million (389) to date.
Since the last quarter, we have signed agreements for two new hotels in Hamburg, Germany, with planned opening in 2028 and 2030 as well as a franchise agreement for a hotel in Florø, Norway. A decision was also taken to open our first Scandic Go in Oslo by converting Scandic Grensen. This centrally located hotel strengthens our offering in the fast-growing economy segment and is scheduled to open in the first half of 2026. In October, Scandic launched its new app which, combined with our new website and loyalty program, represents an important initiative aimed at strengthening the guest experience.
As previously communicated, Scandic has signed an agreement to acquire Dalata's hotel operations from Pandox and Eiendomsspar. Following approvals from the EU Commission and Dalata's shareholders, the transaction is expected to close in early November. A process will then begin to separate the properties from the hotel operations, during which Scandic will operate the hotels under a management agreement. Once the carve-out process is completed, we will assume operations under lease agreements. The acquisition means that Scandic will take over 56 well-run hotels with strong brands and high guest satisfaction in Ireland and the United Kingdom, two attractive markets with solid fundamentals and higher occupancy and room rates than in the Nordics. The acquisition is expected to be made at an attractive valuation, contribute positively to earnings per share, and provide a platform for continued growth and improved profitability over time.
Market development is stable, and based on the current booking situation, we expect occupancy to be on par with the preceding year and price levels to be slightly higher in the fourth quarter. Travel, hotel stays and experiences are being prioritized. Combined with our strong position, record-low indebtedness and commercial agenda, this means that Scandic is well positioned for the future.

The Nordic hotel market continued to perform well during the quarter, primarily driven by higher occupancy in all markets compared with the previous year. The average occupancy rate in the Nordic region in the quarter was 74.4 percent, compared with 71.4 percent in the preceding year.
The occupancy rate increased most in Denmark, where it grew to 82.9 percent (79.1). Occupancy rose to 74.2 percent (71.7) in Sweden, to 73.2 percent (71.0) in Norway and to 67.3 percent (64.0) in Finland.
Occupancy was highest in Denmark and lowest in Finland. Average occupancy rates in the Nordic markets were between 67.8 percent and 79.8 percent in July, between 69.1 percent and 85.8 percent in August, and between 64.9 percent and 83.2 percent in September.
The price trend in the Nordic hotel market was generally positive during the quarter. Compared with the third quarter last year, the average room rate grew by 5.7 percent. The largest price increase was noted in Denmark, where prices rose by 12.4 percent, followed by Norway with an increase of 5.5 percent driven by a continued strong market trend. Prices in Sweden increased by 1.4 percent. While the Swedish price level was largely stable, the performance in Stockholm was somewhat sluggish. The price trend in Finland was impacted by the weak economy, with prices falling by 4.1 percent. Overall, RevPAR increased by 10.0 percent compared with the same quarter last year.

Scandic operates according to a model with long-term leases and is fully responsible for the brand, hotel operations, and distribution. This is the dominant model in the Nordic markets and Germany. In many other countries, the franchise model is more common, where the hotel company controls only the brand while operations are run by a specialized management company or the property owner. Some hotel companies have a fully integrated model where the property owner is responsible for operations as well as the offering and brand.
The lease model provides full control over the Scandic customer experience, while also allowing Scandic to benefit from economies of scale in both operations and distribution.
Scandic operates hotels with long-term leases that are usually variable based on hotel revenues. This creates shared incentives for both parties since higher sales mean higher rents and greater property value for landlords. Variable rents ensure a relatively flexible cost structure, which helps stabilize margins. Over time, Scandic aims to increase the share of variable leases and achieve more balanced conditions. The distribution of responsibilities for investments is clearly regulated in Scandic's leases. In general, Scandic is responsible for finishes, furniture, fixtures and equipment, while the property owner is responsible for the building, technical installations and bathrooms.


At the end of the period, Scandic had 55,868 hotel rooms in operation at 264 hotels, of which 244 were leased. Over the quarter, the number of rooms in operation decreased by 119, mainly due to the exit of the Scandic Imatra hotel, with 137 rooms, and to Scandic Karlskrona, which had been expanded with an additional 14 rooms as of September 30, 2025.

Easter falls either in the first or second quarter, which should be considered when making comparisons between years. In 2025, the Easter holiday fell in the second quarter, whereas in 2024, it fell in the first quarter.

The operating cash flow statement below is based on adjusted EBITDA and excludes the effects of IFRS 16. The table below shows how interest-bearing net liabilities changed in each period. Excluding IFRS 16, operating cash flows for the period were SEK 1,390 million (1,095). The cash flow contribution from the change in working capital was SEK -178 million (-709). The improvement was due to a higher level of advance payments by customers, a decrease in trade receivables and an increase in staff-related liabilities. In the comparative period, working capital was negatively affected by the repayment of approximately SEK 430 million in liabilities related to variable rent for 2024. The corresponding repayment for the period was approximately SEK 230 million.
Taxes paid amounted to SEK -258 million (-109) and chiefly related to Norway and Sweden.
Net investments paid amounted to SEK -769 million (-707). They chiefly related to increased investments in ongoing hotel renovations of SEK -533 million (-476), including in Stockholm, Helsinki, Oslo and Gothenburg. IT investments amounted to SEK -73 million (-71). Investments in new hotels and increased room capacity totaled SEK -163 million (-159), including in Stuttgart and Tromsø. The free cash flow totaled SEK 621 million (389).

The Group applies IFRS Accounting Standards, as adopted by the EU. This report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
The accounting principles and methods of calculation applied in this report are the same as those used in the preparation of the 2024 Annual Report and consolidated financial statements and are outlined in Note 1, Accounting principles. The IASB has published amendments to standards that became effective on or after January 1, 2024. In January 2027, the new standard IFRS 18 will enter into force, replacing IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. Management is currently evaluating the exact consequences of applying the new standard in its financial statements. Other than IFRS 18, the IASB amendments have not had any material impact on the financial statements.
The Parent Company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2, Accounting for legal entities. This means that IFRS are applied with certain exceptions and additions.
This interim report gives a true and fair view of the Parent Company and Group's operations, financial position and results of operations and also describes the significant risks and uncertainties to which the Parent Company and Group companies are exposed. All amounts in this report are expressed in SEK million unless otherwise stated. Rounding differences may occur.
The information about the interim period on pages 1 to 41 is an integral part of these financial statements.
Scandic operates in a sector where demand for hotel nights and conferences is influenced by the underlying domestic development and purchasing power in the geographic markets in which Scandic does business, as well as developments in countries from which there is a significant amount of travel to Scandic's domestic markets. Additionally, profitability in the sector is impacted by changes in room capacity. Increased capacity can initially lower occupancy in the short term, but in the long term, it can help stimulate interest in business and leisure destinations, which in turn can increase the number of hotel nights.
Scandic's business model is based on leases where approximately 90 percent of its hotels (based on number of rooms) have variable revenue-based rents. This results in a lower profit risk, since revenue losses are partly offset by lower rental costs. Scandic's other costs also include a high share of variable costs where, above all, staffing flexibility is essential for the ability to adapt cost levels to variations in demand. Altogether, this means that by having a flexible cost structure, Scandic can lessen the effects of seasonal and economic fluctuations.
On September 30, 2025, Scandic's goodwill and intangible assets amounted to SEK 6,955 million. This figure relates mainly to operations in Sweden, Norway and Finland. A significant downturn in the hotel markets in these countries would affect expected cash flow negatively and, consequently, the value of goodwill and other intangible assets.
Scandic has a cost structure consisting of variable costs, which are affected by changes in volumes, and costs fixed in the short term, which are independent of changes in volume. Costs that are affected by changes in volume largely include sales commissions and other external distribution costs, the cost of goods sold, sales-based rental costs, property-related costs (energy, water, etc.), payroll expenses for hotel employees without guaranteed working hours, and the cost of certain services, such as laundry. Costs not affected by changes in volume largely consist of payroll expenses for hotel employees with guaranteed working hours, fixed and guaranteed rental costs and costs related to country and Group-wide functions, such as sales, marketing, IT and other administrative services.
The operations of Scandic's subsidiaries are mainly local, with revenues and expenses in domestic currencies, and the Group's internal sales are low. Accordingly, currency exposure due to transactions is limited in the operating profit/loss. Exchange rate effects in the Group arise from the translation of foreign subsidiaries' financial statements into SEK.
The fair value of financial instruments is determined by their classification in the fair value hierarchy. The different levels are defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable data other than Level 1 for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Data for assets or liabilities not based on observable market data.
The Group's derivative instruments and loans from credit institutions are classified as Level 2. Liabilities to credit institutions are recognized at fair value.
Segments are reported in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating segments. Segment information is reported in the same way as it is analyzed and studied internally by the executive decision-makers, mainly the CEO, the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors.
Scandic's main markets in which the Group operates are:
Sweden – Swedish hotels operated under the Scandic brand.
Norway – Norwegian hotels operated under the Scandic brand.
Finland – Finnish hotels operated under the Scandic brand as well as hotels operated under the Hilton, Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn brands.
Other Europe – hotels operated under the Scandic brand in Denmark, Poland and Germany.
Central functions – Costs for finance, business development, IR, communication, technical development, human resources, branding, marketing, sales, IT and purchasing. These functions support all hotels in the Group, including those under leases or management and franchise agreements.
The allocation of revenues between segments is based on the location of the business activities, and segment disclosures are determined after eliminating intra-Group transactions. Revenues derive from many customers in all segments. The segments' performance is based on adjusted EBITDA.

The Group has applied IFRS 16 Leases since January 1, 2019. The accounting policy means that leases with fixed or minimum rent are recognized in the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. IFRS 16 has a substantial impact on Scandic's income statement and balance sheet. Since the introduction of IFRS 16, reported EBITDA has increased significantly, as rental costs have fallen while depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest expenses for the lease liability have increased. Since Scandic's business model is to lease (rather than own) hotel properties, IFRS 16 will continue to have a significant impact on the Company's accounts. To help investors – with and without good knowledge of IFRS 16 – gain a good understanding of the Company's position, Scandic presents its performance and financial key ratios both including and excluding the effects of IFRS 16. Scandic's financial targets for profitability, capital structure and dividends exclude the effects of IFRS 16.
With the portfolio of leases that existed at the end of the third quarter of 2025, net profit after tax for 2025 is expected to be negatively impacted by approximately SEK -355 million (2024: -446). With an unchanged portfolio of leases and otherwise unchanged assumptions, the negative effect on profits is expected to diminish over time and affect the net profit positively from 2030. This is because interest expenses for the lease liability decrease over time as the liability is repaid regularly.
The definition of adjusted EBITDA excludes the effect of IFRS 16. The tables below show the reconciliation between the reported outcome according to IFRS and the outcome excluding IFRS 16.

Jens Mathiesen President & CEO
To Scandic Hotels Group AB (publ), corporate identity number 556703-1702
We have conducted a limited review of the condensed interim financial information (interim report) for Scandic Hotels Group AB (publ), as of September 30, 2025, and the nine-month period ending on that date. The board of directors and the managing director are responsible for preparing and presenting this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our limited review.
We have conducted our limited review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A limited review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, performing analytical procedures, and other review procedures. A limited review has a different focus and a significantly smaller scope compared to the focus and scope of an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and generally accepted auditing standards. The review procedures taken in a limited review do not enable us to obtain the assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might have been identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a limited review does not have the assurance that a conclusion expressed based on an audit has.
Based on our limited review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act and for the parent company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
